Removing sap mat
I got a nice sized male wolf while on stand for whitetails this year
I would like to get the hide tanned but he has 2 sap mats on his fur ( 1 small 1 large ).
Is there a tried and true method to remove these or is the hide pooched (pardon the pun)
Any help is appreciated
Thanks guys

I think gas takes care of sap? I know when I get sap on my hands, a little hand sanitizer tak s I out, and that's all alcohol.

I would think that gas may be hard on the fur / shine
Maybe, maybe not ?

I won't comment on fur but butter helps remove sap from hands.

I have found that when gone through the tanning process that there is no sap left to worry about!

I can hope for that.
He has a nice coat other than that 3 x 5 inch mat of sap

Don't know how true it is but I was told to never ever use petroleum products on fur.
Old school advice said to use real Turpentine only, not mineral spirits (artificial turpentine)
I used turpentine and it did work but it took time and careful work.
I did not try any petroleum based products so I don't know if they would damage the fur or not. I was told they would so never took the chance.

I would talk to the tannery, or who ever you're sending it to, and see if they can handle it. I'm sure they've had sap in fur before, and can deal with it properly.
Rather than risk damaging it yourself.

Spruce sap
I use cooking oil. Get some sap off a tree and do some trials of diffrent products before you try them on your wolf.

Try some Goo Gone. It's biodegradable and will be better on fur than any petroleum based product.
